j16sdiz··on Google workers seek 'red lines' on military A.I., echoing Anthropic
This is not answering the question.. and HN ain't US only.

You can say the same for any other country... What if Japan employee refuse, but American want that anyway? What if China employee refuse, but Russia employee want that anyway?

The implication are still the same -- social, culture, jurisdiction, national interest, company interest don't share the same boundary and don't align on their priorities.

It's not just facebook. Every social network under Meta is infected with bot. Facebook look worse because there are so few real users.

j16sdiz··on The US is flirting with its first-ever population decline
Their life are pretty stable - consistently bad, you can say. They know what their kid have is more or less same as what they did - not improving, but not getting worse either

Can you say the the same in a city where housing is getting less and less affordable,?

j16sdiz··on America has a tungsten problem
> electricity that is largely coal.

Kind of. China is at 55% Coal and 40% Renewable, with renewable climbing each year.

Compare to USA 40% Gas, 20% Coal, 20% Renewable, with renewable more or less steady.

j16sdiz··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
It depends on you thread model and how much you trust government.

In your model, government now know you are on discord -- they know where to ask when they want to find you.

It really depends which government you are under.

You should read report from those support workers. How many disgusting image they need to see each day.

Adding more support staff just more complexity. Facebook need to break down into small networks. (ie. make less revenue, if that's all you care)

You suggest they should scale up the support team, I said they should just scale down their whole business.

j16sdiz··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
That is because Facebook have already gone out of scale and no reasonable human can handle those appeals anymore.

If you mix in the spammer and bad actors, it makes sense to just say no.

The solution is, of course, have smaller social networks.

j16sdiz··on Nanobot: Ultra-Lightweight Alternative to OpenClaw
The core "design" not bad, but the "code" quality is .. mid.

They are basically keep breaking different feature on every release.

j16sdiz··on Nanobot: Ultra-Lightweight Alternative to OpenClaw
OpenClaw allow the LLM to make their own schedule, spawn subagents, and make their own tool.

Yes, basically just some "appropriate MCP servers" can do. but OpenClaw sell it as a whole preconfigured package.

j16sdiz··on My iPhone 16 Pro Max produces garbage output when running MLX LLMs
Blame the long and confusing language in spec:

> For an operation with quiet NaN inputs, other than maximum and minimum operations, if a floating-point result is to be delivered the result shall be a quiet NaN which should be one of the input NaNs.

The same document say:

> shall -- indicates mandatory requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the standard and from which no deviation is permitted (“shall” means “is required to”)

> should -- indicates that among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain course of action is deprecated but not prohibited (“should” means “is recommended to”)

i.e. It required to be a quiet NaN, and recommended to use one of the input NaN.
